Go crush it in your final season, Sam, a Pendleton Rugby alumni. We are rooting for you during your senior season!

Sam Mossoney, from Pendleton, Indiana, knows what it feels like to win. A state champion in high school, Sam came to Marian Rugby with a championship mindset and an understanding of what it takes to be part of something bigger than yourself.

His college career, however, hasn’t always gone according to plan. Injuries have tested Sam again and again over the past few years. But one thing they haven’t taken from him is his determination.

He kept showing up. He kept working. He never quit.

And even when he couldn’t contribute the way he wanted to on the pitch, Sam remained the kind of teammate every program needs — reliable, committed and there for his brothers.

Now it’s SENIOR YEAR.

Sam has one goal: make this his best year yet. He’s had a taste of winning before, and he knows exactly how good it feels.

One last season. One more opportunity. And a whole lot left to prove.

⚔️ Sam Mossoney | Senior | Pendleton, Indiana

The comeback is always bigger than the setback.

Best of luck to former Pendleton Rugby player, Hunter Branham - have a great senior season!

🏉 SENIOR SPOTLIGHT | HUNTER BRANHAM

Some players spend their college careers learning what it takes to win.

Hunter Branham arrived already knowing.

A Pendleton, Indiana native, Hunter came to Marian Rugby after a championship high school career at Pendleton, where he helped bring home state titles and developed an expectation for winning.

At Marian, Hunter has been a dynamic presence on the pitch. Athletic, explosive, and dangerous with the ball, he has the ability to change a match in a moment. When Hunter finds space, things happen.

But there’s still one piece of hardware missing.

He’s won at the state level. He’s experienced big matches. Now, entering his final season in a Marian jersey, Hunter has his eyes on the one prize that would complete the story:

🏆 A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

The hunger is there. The opportunity is here.

One last season. One last run. One title left to chase.

⚔️ HUNTER BRANHAM | SENIOR | PENDLETON, INDIANA
